Went up on weight or reps for each exercise. Workout felt great.
Seeing some progress in the mirror has really helped me to get the fire going and look forward to the next few weeks and seeing what I can do.
 
I also have a 4 day weekend starting tomorrow, very much looking forward to relaxing mind and body.

Happy to hear the Ep1c Unl is treating you well. I think your routine is geared for it to really shine.

Two good workouts to finish off the week. Diet is still going good, slowly starting to lean out some.
EP1C Unleashed is still kicking a$$!!!
 
Awesome workouts, Red! ??
 
I need to get in some facepulls soon. Been a while. Nice work Red.
 
Your workouts really look like a lot of fun!! How much are you down so far with the diet?

I enjoy them, my joints feel so much better after taking a break from just lifting heavy. Thanks for the support Kat:)
About 5 pounds over the last 3 weeks.
 
I bet so! That's good! It's no fun training and hurting all of the time! Congrats on the 5 lbs! That's awesome!!

Another solid workout. That extra set on DB Press and 1 arm rows was killer. Those 45 seconds go by so fast on the alternating sets. Gets my heart rate going and I am drenched by the end of my workout. Which EP1C Unleashed has something to do with that also.
 
Dude, your incline is crazy strong.
 
Hi BigRed1974; do you recommend the turkish get up as a core exercise and how do you find is it easy to learn? yes I'll practise at home first of course lol.

It is a good overall body exercise but does hit the core very nicely as well. I looked it up on you tube to get the right technique.
Definitely start with lighter weight till you get use to it. This could be also a great conditioning exercise if you go with some higher reps.

Going to be switching to a 3 day routine since softball is about to go into full effect. Will be at tournaments the next 6 weeks with at least two practices a week. So M/W/F will work well with the schedule.
Also going to be switching to more of the lighter weight, more tension time and feeling the muscle work but definitely means it won't be any easier.
 
Farmers walk kills me!
 
Strong work man!

First day of new 3 day workout. Not bad at all, definitely more volume than I am use to but enjoyed the workout. I was drenched by the time I was done.
Concentrating more on the movement and not as much on the weight.
EP1C Unleashed helped me power through, this workout took about 45 minutes to complete so not to bad and starting to feel the effects of it this morning.
 
That is indeed quite a bit of volume, but looks to be a fun one.

Nice workout, got a great pump and starting to feel it today. Slowly seeing some changes in leaning out.
5/2 diet still going good, as long as I stay busy on the low calorie days it is not a problem and makes eating on the weekends a lot more flexible.

I just started a cycle of THE 1, I had bought it before the ban. Only a week in so excited to see what changes I can make being I am looking to lean out. Also running Erase and a Cycle Support with it, along with EP1C Unleashed.
 
I need to do a 5/2 cut instead of an 8/0 bulk.

Still lovin your routine and setup man.
 
Lol Thomas!

Those 6 second negatives sound brutal!!
 
Short rest breaks would keep you really fit! You train really intense lol.. slow negatives would burn like hell i imagine.
Do you use a stopwatch or an app like a tabata timer to help you keep within the seconds?

Got used to training with shorter rest times. Also like to decrease rest times as a way of progression instead of adding more weight. Yes slow negatives can be painful..lol
I use the stop watch on my phone for the rest times and for my negatives I just count it out in my head.
 
Still lurking in and out over here. Got a couple good workouts in so far this week and will get back to normal next week. Last tournament is this weekend for softball.
Plan on getting back to logging next week!
For not being able to workout much over the last few weeks I have to say I am still pleased with the progress. Kept my diet going good and just staying active coaching I have leaned out some more and muscles are staying full.
 
Glad you're alive Red

Thanks! can't see it in the pic but my legs have gotten better as well. Didn't really notice till the other day when I took and pic and noticed the difference.
Over the last year I have added 10 pounds while staying around the same body fat, now to lean out some more in the next few weeks!

Can see legs a little better in this one. Have to work on getting a better one.

Good chest and back workout! Finally starting to feel rested and ready to train. Softball season is over for now and I don't plan on coaching anymore. I was able to get 3 good workouts in last week and will get 4 in this week before heading to the beach for a extended weekend.
Time to get back to leaning out the waist some more, should be able to really concentrate on this for the next few weeks.

Had a good 5 day vacation with 3 of those days at the beach. Enjoyed the sun, sand, book and a few adult beverages.
Started back up yesterday with my training. Had a good first workout of the week and look forward to having a good week of workouts.
 
Thanks to PrimevalP for giving away 2 bottles of Primeval Labs 1 Andro Max. Even though a log is not required I will update my progress with it in my log. I started yesterday and will be taking 3 per day for the first 3 weeks and take 4 per day the last two weeks to give me a 5 week run.

Starting up new diet with my wife today to help give her some support and motivation. Starting with a low carb diet to get things moving and get the sugar out of our diet first. Then plan on moving to a carb cycle diet to have a little more flexibility.
 
That's awesome you're doing it with her. More carbs for the rest of us, too.
 
Great work in here Red! That's sweet of you to do the diet with your wife! I know that means a lot to her!
